Conditions

Congenital Nystagmus

Interventions

Experimental group:Implanting the Nerve-Muscle Stimulator provided by SuperVision Technology. Approximately 1 month postoperative, the device was activated and adjusted to normal stimulation parameter
Control group:Implanting the Nerve-Muscle Stimulator provided by SuperVision Technology. Approximately 1 month postoperative, the device was activated and adjusted to lowest parameters (Current Pulse
Pulse Width 65 µs
Pulse Frequency 0.1 Hz, no theoretical therapeutic effect). After obtaining study results with zero current stimulation, control group is administered using normal stimulation parameters, similar to t
Feasibility test:Implanting the Nerve-Muscle Stimulator provided by SuperVision Technology. Approximately 1 month postoperative, the device was activated and adjusted to normal stimulation parameters.
